Previous-Gen Skoda Superb Returns as a Full Import

The iconic Skoda Superb is making a comeback to the Indian market but with a twist. Unlike its previous iteration, the new Superb will not be locally assembled. Instead, Skoda will import the Superb as a completely built unit (CBU) under the government’s GSR 870 rule, allowing for the import of up to 2,500 units annually without homologation.

Fourth-Gen Superb to Follow

While the relaunch brings back the previous-gen Superb, enthusiasts can also look forward to the arrival of the fourth-gen model approximately a year later. The new Superb, which debuted globally in November last year, promises to raise the bar with its advanced features and cutting-edge technology.

New Skoda Octavia on the Horizon

Following the Superb’s relaunch, Skoda has plans to reintroduce another beloved model to the Indian market—the Octavia. The new-gen Octavia is also slated to make its debut as a full import, offering Indian consumers a taste of Skoda’s latest innovations.

Skoda Superb Price (Expected):

As the Superb returns as a full import, it is anticipated to come with a higher price tag compared to its previous locally assembled version. While the previous-gen Superb was priced between Rs 34.19-37.29 lakh, the imported variant is expected to start around Rs 43 lakh. Despite the price increase, the Superb will continue to rival the Toyota Camry, which is currently priced at Rs 46.17 lakh.
